May 28, 2024, 3:30 am
Sinn Studio, a prominent XR studio based in Toronto, Canada, has recently announced the successful closure of a $2.5 million funding round. This significant investment, led by Hartmann Capital and supported by Boost VC, Republic, Alumni Ventures, Mana Ventures, MetaVision, and industry angels like Chris Ye of Uken Games, marks a pivotal moment for Sinn Studio's journey in the virtual reality gaming industry.
The funding will fuel Sinn Studio's ambitious plans to develop the world's first real-time Player vs Player (PvP) VR combat game, leveraging cutting-edge spatial computing technologies. This innovative project is set to redefine the multiplayer combat genre and push the boundaries of immersive gaming experiences.
Co-founded by Almir Brljak and Alek Sinn, Sinn Studio has rapidly evolved from a single developer in 2017 to a full-time team of 30 dedicated professionals. Their upcoming free-to-play title is driven by the studio's proprietary "Combat Engine" and supported by the groundbreaking "Large Intent Model" (LIM), a neural network designed to analyze and learn from the intricate nuances of human motion during combat scenarios.
Alek Sinn, the Co-Founder and CEO of Sinn Studio, expressed his excitement and gratitude for the support received, stating, "After seven years of navigating the challenges and opportunities in the VR industry as a bootstrapped company, we are thrilled to have found the right partners to support our vision. This funding round signifies a new chapter for Sinn Studio as we work towards redefining the future of combat gaming in the era of spatial computing."
Felix Hartmann, Managing Partner of Hartmann Capital and newly appointed member of the Sinn Studio Board, shared his perspective on the transformative potential of virtual reality in combat experiences. He emphasized the studio's role in leading the evolution of immersive combat gaming and its impact on both sports and cultural landscapes.
Sinn Studio's previous success with award-winning titles like Swordsman, recognized as a "Most Popular Game" of 2023 on Quest and a top 10 best seller on PlayStation VR, has garnered attention and acclaim within the gaming community. With a strong foundation in single-player and multiplayer melee combat, Sinn Studio is poised for further success and innovation in the VR gaming space.
The launch of their PvP combat game represents a significant milestone in the evolution of virtual reality gaming, blending social interaction with competitive gameplay to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience. Sinn Studio's commitment to pushing the boundaries of engagement and realism in VR gaming sets a new standard for immersive entertainment.
